NWC Naturals Pet Products Total-Zymes® 16 Enzyme Combination

Protease 6.0 - used to break down proteins to peptides, but will not digest protein to amino acids. A second enzyme is necessary for that to happen.

Protease 3.0 - used to break down proteins in a different PH range.

Protease 4.5 - used to break down proteins in a different PH range than Protese 6.0 & 3.0.

Peptidase - helps digest protein molecules; four varieties of protease enzymes have been combined in this formula to compensate for higher protein diets of pets.

Amylase - an enzyme that breaks down sugars and starches, like hidden sugars in pet treats. And helps digest corn, potatoes, rice, and other starches present in dog food.

Alpha-Galactosidase - an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, such as vegetables & whole grains. It can help prevent the gas and other gastrointestinal symptoms.

Beta-Glucanase - used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically starches.

Diastase - sometimes called maltase, this is an enzyme that is the catalyst in the hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar form - glucose.

Lipase - digests lipids, commonly called fats, and is critical to digest fats in the diet that support a healthy coat and skin.

Cellulase - works on cellulose, an indigestible fiber found in many fruits and vegetables.

Pectinase - Breaks down fruit and vegetable pectin?s and features detoxifying properties.

Phytase - breaks down carbohydrates, specifically phytates in plants and can increase mineral absorption and the bio-availability of iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium.

Hemicellulase - used to breakdown carbohydrates, especially polysaccharides such as hemicelluloses, which are found in plant foods.

Bromelain - most notable for its effectiveness in normalizing inflammation and decreasing swelling, as wall as a natural systemic enzyme with many uses.

Glucoamylase - used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides, simple sugars.

Lactase - required to break down lactose and help digest milk sugars.
